Okhwang

Contents

Summary

The King, also known as the Jade Emperor (Okhwang in Korean), is the main antagonist of The God of High School from chapter 3 onwards, and is the leader of Nox, a mysterious organization that enforces the cosmic hierarchy. He is an ancient deity that has existed for ages and rules the Heavenly Realm but descended into the mortal realm to monitor the collection of life energy from humans, which the gods use to extend their already considerable lifespans. However, his current body is deteriorating quickly and has been investing much of his time and power into creating the ideal successor (Dante).

Powers and Stats

Tier: At least Low 4-C, higher with Re-Taekwondo | At least High 4-C, higher with the Blade of Tathagata, higher with Re-Taekwondo, higher with Jeahbongchim Acupuncture | At least High 4-C

Attack Potency: At least Small Star level (Fought both Ilpyo Park and Mori Jin, and easily dealt with them both. Should at least be strong enough to perform this feat, as a weaker Daewi Han with only half of Okhwang's power could do it), higher with Re-Taekwondo | At least Large Star level (Was beating Mori Hui even after the latter was boosted by several of his allies. He was only beaten after Mori Hui got the original Yeoui, and Okhwang had his power sealed by the Holy Grail), higher with the Blade of Tathagata, higher with Re-Taekwondo, higher with Jeahbongchim Acupuncture | At least Large Star level (In his prime, he effortlessly defeated the Monkey King and his army of 12 billion. In addition, the Dante body he possessed was poisoned, and he was not fighting at full power the entire time, making his prime state much stronger)

Lifting Strength: At least Class Y via power-scaling (Can lift the Ruyi Jingu with the help of his Gravity Manipulation abilities)

Striking Strength: At least Small Star Class (Far superior to Mori Jin), higher with Re-Taekwondo | At least Large Star Class (Much stronger than before and could match Mori Hui even while the latter was boosted by the powers of numerous other characters), higher with the Blade of Tathagata, higher with Re-Taekwondo, higher with Jeahbongchim Acupuncture | At least Large Star Class

Durability:Small Star level (Tanked the collision of two planets without injury, can effortlessly take blows from Mori Jin, and withstand the force of Re-Taekwondo techniques with little drawback) | At least Large Star level (Can withstand the force of his own strikes, wears the same Robe of the Sage as Daewi Han which was able to withstand the combined attacks of several Gods such as Uriel), higher with the Blade of Tathagata, higher with Jeahbongchim Acupuncture | At least Large Star level

Stamina: High, although weakened in his old age, he is still able to keep up with other gods like Mori Jin in combat for extended periods of time, but doing so strains his health

Cane of the Sage: A magical staff that allows him to create portals to travel between the Human Realm, Sage Realm, and Divine Realm.

Blade of Tathagata: A mystical katana that the King can summon out of thin air. By simply unsheathing the Blade, the King was able to slice the Earth from where he stood in Seoul to the Seogwipo Island. This sword is sharp enough to cleanly cleave through the Yongpyo and allowed The King to defeat the Monkey King and his army of twelve billion demons in a single battle.

Intelligence: The King, having lived for countless years, is immensely powerful and skilled combatant, managing to defeat the likes of the Monkey King, King Uma, and the Nine-Tailed Guardian in quick succession despite his old age. He is a master of hand-to-hand combatant and is an incredibly skilled swordsman, maintaining a surprisingly amount of agility despite his old age and clashing furiously with Mori Jin in melee combat. He is also a master manipulator, having orchestrated the events of the series for centuries and managing to sway Mori Hui, Mori Jin's clone to his side until the death of Daewi Han.

Weaknesses: His current mortal body is aging and deteriorating at a very rapid rate; he is nowhere near his full power and has low levels of stamina, this weakness is abolished when he transfers into Dante. He's somewhat overconfident at times and is prone to tunnel vision

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Fundamental Forces Manipulation: The King is able to manipulate the four fundamental forces that govern the universe. He can use them to replicate and manipulate virtually every naturally occurring phenomena on Earth.

Gravity Manipulation: The King's most frequently used ability, manipulating gravity for various purposes, ranging from lifting Yeoui to throwing planets.

The King: Throwing A Planet: The King combines his telekinesis and gravity manipulation abilities to grab two planets and direct them towards his foes.

Attraction: The King manipulates the gravitational pull between two objects to pull his foes closer to him.

Repulsion: The King reverses the gravitational pull between two objects to send foes flying away.

Velocity Manipulation: The King is able to manipulate the velocity of anything in his vicinity, manipulating the air around Yeoui to create drag that stopped the staff from reaching him.

Friction Manipulation: The King is able to manipulate frictional forces to easily ward off foes attempting to grapple him, forcing them to slip off him as if they were grabbing a lubricated surface.

Inertia: The King manipulates inertia to maximize his striking force, ensuring that his next attack suffers from no loss of speed or power.

Zero Friction: The King lowers friction coefficient of his body to zero, allowing him to brush off virtually any shock with ease.

Zero Inertia + Zero Frictional Force: The King reduces the inertia and frictional force of his foe's movements to zero, effectively nullifying it.

Electromagnetic Manipulation: The King manipulates electromagnetic forces to redirect electricity-based attacks, allowing him to dodge the Geunwoodin's lightning strikes.

Weak Force Manipulation: The King is able to manipulate forces at the subatomic level, allowing him to simply grip his target's arm to tear it clean off or reduce object to pieces.

Strong Force Manipulation: The King can manipulate the forces that binds subatomic particles to mimic nuclear fusion

Big Bang: The King creates a ball of nuclear energy that he claimed will "reduce Asia to Stone Age". He also claimed to have used this technique in the past to "Flood" the earth.
